Well, that doesn't make any sense at all, does it? LOL

During my whole time in school 1968-1981, we only ever had one such drill that I recall.... but they took us into the hall (away from windows) and we covered our heads while kneeling towards our lockers.

In no universe does going outside in anticipation of an atomic attack make any sense whatsoever. lol. Someone must have been poorly informed.
